& Tadeu Takeyshi Inoue (5) RESUMOA compreensão e a quantificação do impacto dos sistemas de uso e manejo nos teores de C orgânico do solo (COS) e em propriedades físicas são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de sistemas agrícolas sustentáveis. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar alterações em alguns atributos físicos e COS de um Latossolo Vermelho da região noroeste do Paraná sob diferentes sistemas de uso e manejo: mata nativa, pastagem e as culturas de mandioca e de cana-de-açúcar. Foram coletadas amostras deformadas para determinação da textura, da densidade de partículas, do ensaio de Proctor normal e dos teores de matéria orgânica; e amostras indeformadas, para determinação da densidade do solo (Ds) e porosidade do solo. Os resultados indicaram que os sistemas de manejo estudados induziram alterações nos atributos físicos do solo em relação à mata nativa, o que foi verificado pelos maiores valores de Ds, densidade relativa do solo e densidade máxima do solo e menores valores de macroposidade, porosidade total, COS e estoque de C do solo, na seguinte ordem crescente: pastagem, mandioca e cana-de-açúcar. Contudo, as áreas não são consideradas fisicamente degradadas.
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is one of the most limiting factors for productivity. This research was carried out to assess the influence of Al nutrient solution on plant height, dry weight and morphoanatomical alterations in corn (Zea mays L.) roots and leaves. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with five treatments consisting of Al doses (0, 25, 75, 150, and 300 µmol L-1) and six replications. The solutions were constantly aerated, and the pH was initially adjusted to 4.3. The shoot dry matter, root dry matter and plant height decreased significantly with increasing Al concentrations. Compared to the control plants, it was observed that the root growth of corn plants in Al solutions was inhibited, there were fewer lateral roots and the development of the root system reduced. The leaf anatomy of plants grown in solutions containing 75 and 300 µmol L-1 Al differed in few aspects from the control plants. The leaf sheaths of the plants exposed to Al had a uniseriate epidermis coated with a thin cuticle layer, and the cells of both the epidermis and the cortex were less developed. In the vascular bundle, the metaxylem and protoxylem had no secondary walls, and the diameter of both was much smaller than of the control plants.
This research investigated the efficiency and residual effects of two solid organomineral fertilizers on corn (Zea mays L.) shoot dry matter (SDM), P uptake, P recovery index, P use efficiency index, accumulated SDM (ASDM), and total P uptake. This was a greenhouse pot study where organomineral‐granulated (OG) fertilizer, organomineral‐pelletized (OM) fertilizer, and inorganic fertilizer mix (MM) were tested on a Eutropherric Red Latossol clay soil (Oxisol). Phosphorus (P) rates were 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg kg−1. Two plants were grown in each pot for 35 d before harvest; this cropping cycle was repeated consecutively four times on the same pots. Corn SDM for OM in the first cropping cycle was three times lower than for OG and MM at the highest P rate, was similar among all sources in the second and third cycles, and in the last cropping cycle was on average two times higher for the OM and MM compared with OG. Tissue P uptake was on average 50% greater for OM and MM than for OG. Corn ASDM and total P uptake were significantly greater (on average 35% for ASDM and 40% for total P uptake) with MM and OM than with OG for the majority of the rates. The P recovery index was the same in the first cropping cycle among all sources; however, it was significantly higher (60% on average) for MM and OM in the last two cycles than for OG. No difference in P use efficiency of corn plants was observed between fertilizer sources. Organomineral fertilizers made with different techniques yield fertilizers with different P availability. We observed a different residual effect among the mineral and organomineral fertilizers. The P release kinetics of the mineral fertilizer are different compared with the organomineral. The P content extracted by water in the fertilizers is the main index of the phosphate fertilizer efficiency.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as alterações na qualidade física de um Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico provocadas pela escarificação, após 13 anos de semeadura direta. O experimento constituiu-se de dois tratamentos: escarificação do solo a 0,30 m de profundidade (SDE) e testemunha mantendo a semeadura direta (SD). Amostras de solo, com estrutura não deformada, foram coletadas nas profundidades de 0-0,15 m e 0,15-0,30 m, a partir das quais foram determinados a curva de retenção de água, a curva de resistência do solo à penetração, a densidade do solo e o "Intervalo Ótimo de Tensão da Água no Solo" (IOP). Os resultados mostraram que, na profundidade de 0-0,15 m, a escarificação promoveu modificações na porosidade do solo, mantendo condições adequadas de aeração em tensões matriciais menores do que 0,01 MPa. Por outro lado, no solo escarificado, constatou-se a maior ocorrência de limitações pela resistência do solo à penetração em tensões menores do que 1,5 MPa. Para a camada de 0,15-0,30 m, no tratamento SDE, a resistência do solo à penetração foi o limite superior do IOP. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que, neste solo e sob esta condição de manejo, não é necessária a escarificação.
